Smart-For-Us Concept 2012
Smart unveiled a urban mobility concept car at the Detroit Auto Show - the Smart-For-Us. Smart-For-Us is targetted for the younger generation while limited the road space consumption. The car is powered by a 55 kW magneto-electric motor, the same electric drivetrain as the Smart Fortwo (to be launched in spring 2012), which gives a max torque of 130Nm and can push the smart-for-us to a max speed of above 120km/h. The lithium-ion battery driving the magneto-electric motor can be fully-charged in 8 hours using regular electric socket.
